Organic White Foxfiber Cotton from Vreseis Farms

This wonderful cotton from Vreseis is certified organic as as any dye or dyeing process applied! This cotton is a bit "fluffier" in texture than the New World Textiles cotton we currently offer and a little easier to spin.
A Bit of History

Cotton was domesticated in the Americas at least 4500 years ago. In contrast to the Old World cottons domesticated for animal feed, New World cotton was domesticated for its fiber and medicinal uses. Bearing lint in tones of gray, brown, tan, and white, cottons were selected from the tropical wilds. It is believed by some scholars of ancient textiles that other colors - such as blue, purple, pink, and green - were also developed by the ancients. However, most naturalists consider the oral histories to be mythology and that these colors were produced with natural dyes.

Cotton in shades of brown through rust and tan currently grows in the places of original domestication including Peru, Ecuador, Central America, Mexico and Southeastern USA. The lint from these plants is used to make special garments. The short coarse fibers require both more skill and patience to spin by hand into yarn.

I absolutely LOVE this cotton!! It has a nice long staple and is very springy, making it the perfect cotton to learn on. I spin it double drive, and I get a nice fine yarn out of it. I cannot wait until you have more in stock. I simply cannot get enough of it!!

cuss-free cotton | Review by Ann Pierce | Posted on 12/31/07: Quality

This may well be the finest cotton I have ever spun. Splitting the sliver in half allows for a smooth, even draft free of slubs, thin spots and overspinning, which is especially nice when plying time rolls around. The finished yarn is soft and smooth yet retains all the character one would want in a handspun cotton. Can't wait to try the green!

Do you want cotton that practically turns itself into yarn? That drafts like a dream? That is soft and smooth? Than this is it! I will admit right here that I am addicted and that you may also become dependent if you try this lovely cotton. I have even dyed it using Paradise's Procion MX dye and it took color wonderfully! The directions for the dye says to soak it for 15 minutes, I have to soak it for an hour or two or over night to get the roving to dye all the way through to the middle. I have spun this cotton on my wheel and on my takli and it is a dream!
